Title: Can Litcoin usb miner 220kh/s mine other cryptocurrency
Post by: joe50 on July 06, 2016, 11:25:19 PM
Am planning to buy this usb litcoin miner 220kh/s from aliexpress as people who bought it have positive feedback. it goes for $16.48.

But am not gonna use it mine litcoin, i want to mine other crytonote like bytcoin or monero. but am afraid if its only design to mine litcoin.

Another question is can it work with minergate software if i connect it to my laptop (window 8)?

I need your help.

Nope, If this USB miner can mine Litecoin, that means that it is able to performs "scrypt" hashing.
So you can only mine altcoin that use "scrypt", and with 220 KH/s you can earn something like 0.01$/day

I don't think it's worth to even buy this stuff

If you have a litecoin ASIC, you can only mine scrypt algo coins, likely if you have a bitcoin miner, you can only mine SHA256 algo coins, this USB mine don't worth the price, with only 220Kh/s you get 0.02$ per day, mining digibyte

You can use it to mine newly launch coin almost every week there are scypt algos coin that are newly launch but the 220kh/s is indeed very low but if you have 5 of these it could be profitable in the long run,do not mine coins that has high difficulty..
